Description:
Novell has reported a vulnerability in NetWare 6.5, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The NFS Server ("XNFS.NLM") does not handle hostname aliases correctly in trusted hosts configuration. This may allow restricted systems to mount directories, which should be denied.
